I hate to keep apologizing for being tardy with the blog, but so be it. I guess I could have dropped some knowledge on the Phillies recent road trip during a 4-hour delay from the Denver Airport on Monday, but the off-day story in Tuesday's paper took precedence.

So what's new in Philliesland? Jayson Werth started at CF last night while Shane Victorino started in RF. That's a change.

I kind of like it - both have arms better suited for those positions. Werth, who is slower than Victorino, but is still pretty darn quick, made some really strong throws while playing in center while Victorino was hurt.

Victorino misplayed a few ball in SF while playing CF this weekend, but Phils manager Charlie Manuel told reporters it was a switch made just to keep Werth familiar with CF on the routine days he plans on giving Victorino off to keep the oft-injured Hawaiian healthy and fresh.
